The sheer number of trans children out there is staggering, it has been like an explosion of young hormones all at once, all flying in different directions and non one knows where the pieces will land.
Do you really have to decide what your sexual orientation is when you are thirteen? Do you even know the difference at that age?
Think back to when you were in school, did you ever wonder if you might be gay? I remember looking at other guys and thinking they looked better than me, or wishing I had their muscles and build. I used to wish I was taller like another boy I knew. After all that wishing I would sometimes wonder if I were gay. When you are young you don't even know what gay is, or lesbian, all you know is that gay and lesbian think the same sex is attractive.
Isn't that what I'm doing when I look at other boys and I think they are more attractive than me and I wish I had their physique? When you are young, you don't know the difference.
The answer is no, by the way.
I admired the other kids, I didn't want to touch them or kiss them, I wanted to have their build and looks so that I could attract GIRLS easier. They inspired me to work out more, dress in way that the opposite sex found more appealing, and what to do with my mess of a hairdo.
I know this is a fact now, and I still admire and envy other guys with great builds, and strong chin lines. But I didn't know this fact when I was younger, from my teens to my mid twenties.
So it leaves me wondering if these children are transgendered or maybe they're confused.
